Chapter 501: Home (Part II)
Mrs. Zhou knew that Shi Niang had something to say to her, so she didn't look back, she didn't keep moving, and when everyone lost the three baptismal rites, she took advantage of the excitement to stand by Shi Niang's side. Quick read
Eleven Niang whispered what Xu Lingyi and the queen mother meant. Mrs. Zhou's expression was obviously a lot more slack. When she came out of Sister Fang'er, Princess Fucheng even smiled and nodded at Eleven Niang.
Mrs. Tai, who had been silent, had a deep smile in her eyes.
She patted Eleven Niang's hand holding her, and went to the side hall with a smile with Mrs. Fifth and Mrs. Huang.
Back in the lotus 'flower', it was already the beginning of the afternoon, and not only Xu Lingyi, but also Luo Zhenxing came to greet them.
"Big brother" Eleven Niang was very happy.
Luo Zhenxing smiled at the corners of his eyes, nodded at his sister, and stepped forward to salute Mrs. Tai.
"But I'm looking forward to you," the fifth lady greeted Luo Zhenxing with a smile, "The fourth sister-in-law is talking at home every day, why haven't you come yet?"
Mrs. Tai also smiled: "Why did you arrive at this time?" ”
"Let Mrs. Tai, the county lord, and my sister miss it" Luo Zhenxing replied to Mrs. Tai's words with a smile, but as if explaining something, his eyes fell on Shi Niang's body, "There is a little delay on the way." It was more than half a month later than the original schedule. ”
Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Fifth looked at it and asked more. Standing in front of the weeping 'flowers' and 'doors' is not the place to speak. Mrs. Tai walked inside, and smiled with Luo Zhenxing: "It's good to arrive safely." Let the fourth child pick you up, and you will have to drink two cups later. Then he asked, "Is home okay?" I heard that your daughter-in-law is pregnant, what happened? Is she okay? ”
"Thanks to you." Luo Zhenxing said respectfully, "The family is 'very' good." There are five aunts around the insiders to take care of, and there is nothing to worry about. ”
The sixth aunt has not gone back since she came to Yanjing.
Eleven Niang thought about the fifth aunt's submissive look, and didn't know whether Luo Zhenxing was kind or sincere
The group sat at Mrs. Tai's place for a while, and Mrs. Tai saw a brother and sister reunited, one was pregnant, and did not leave a daughter-in-law 'wife' to serve by her side, and served tea to the guests.
The fifth lady went back to her room, and Eleven Niang and Xu Lingyi accompanied Luo Zhenxing to the study to sit down.
Without waiting for Eleven Niang to speak, Luo Zhenxing took the initiative and said, "Don't worry. Nothing to do at home. It was the wealthy merchant who used to run the tea business with our family who suddenly came to Hangzhou with his family and begged me to help him settle in Hangzhou. ”
Eleven Niang's heart jumped when she listened: "Is the situation in Fujian very bad?" ”
This kind of thing is not something that 'women' should be concerned about.
Luo Zhenxing couldn't help but glance at Xu Lingyi.
Xu Lingyi said: "It's worse than we imagined." Fujian reports good news but not bad news. The massacre of Da'an Village could not be covered up, so it was reported. "A calm look that is not strange.
"That is, General Li is there, and it is not as I thought before, and the situation in Fujian is gradually under control." Eleven Niang Shen 'groaned'.
If this is the case, then Li Ji's military exploits ......
She had a faint feeling of bad feelings.
Xu Lingyi let out a "hmm", turned sideways and said to Luo Zhenxing: "You came just in time - I was about to write to Yunfei." Tell me about the tea merchant. ”
Eleven Niang was about to support her ears to listen, but saw Luo Zhenxing look at her again. That's when she realized her gaffe.
Hurriedly stood up: "The concubine went to pour a cup of tea for the Hou Ye and his brother."
Xu Lingyi disagreed: "Let the little maid go down, if you are impatient to listen to this, go back to the house to rest."
Brother Jin'er is getting heavier and heavier, but Eleven Niang often holds it, but Brother Jin'er is not a safe one, he is always worried that Brother Jin'er will be exhausted by Brother Jin'er for a while.
"The concubine knows" Eleven Niang smiled, but still got up and avoided it.
Luo Zhenxing was shocked.
When people in the Hanlin Academy talked about Xu Lingyi, they all said that although he was introverted and silent, he was witty and cautious. I didn't expect ...... But Ren Shi Niang listened to them talk about the affairs of the court.
He lowered his head to drink tea, hiding his expression, but his eyes couldn't help but glance at Eleven Niang.
She leaned sideways, telling the little maid something.
The slender body is as graceful as a willow, and the face is pink, like a freshly blooming 'jade' orchid 'flower', such a beautiful person, but from the bones reveal a bit of 'glamour', which makes people can't help but be surprised 'glamour'.
Luo Zhenxing couldn't help but look at Xu Lingyi.
Xu Lingyi was talking: "...... Success is also Xiao He, defeat is also Xiao He. Li Zongbing is good at figuring out the intentions, but he misinterprets the emperor's consciousness. You must know that under the whole world, it is not the king's land. What the emperor wants is a handsome person who can help him guard Fujian, he has repeatedly struggled with the Ou family in small things, and his eyes are still smaller, "I didn't look at Eleven Niang more."
I don't know why, Luo Zhenxing secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Busy thinking and talking to Xu Lingyi: "But it's putting the cart before the horse"
Eleven Niang listened and walked out, and asked the little maid to instruct Mother Wu in the small kitchen to organize a banquet for the two. I went back to the house to freshen up, changed into a homely jacket and rested for a while.
When I woke up again, it was already sunset.
Xu Sijie's voice came from outside: "This thing can't be eaten, it's for playing" and then I heard a few sounds of pulling out 'waves'.
Brother Jin grabbed everything and stuffed it into his mouth these days, Eleven Niang was afraid that he would swallow the things between the buttons, so she told the maid to put away all the small things in the house, and specially instructed Ah Jin to pay attention.
Knowing that this was Xu Si's commandment to learn to play with her brother outside, she 'revealed' a smile.
After Xu Sizhen moved to the outer courtyard, the brothers still went to Shuangfu Courtyard together every morning after greeting Mrs. Tai and Eleven Niang, and at noon they either went to Mrs. Tai's place or to Eleven Niang's place to eat and take a nap, but after school, Nan Yong's daughter-in-law' would politely refuse Xu Sizhen's invitation to lead Xu Sizhen back to the main house, and Mr. Zhao would also leave Xu Sizhen to teach him his homework for half an hour alone. Coming and going, the two are not mixed together all the time as before. Fortunately, Xu Sijie's homework is heavier, and he has to 'spend' more time on his homework, Xu Sijie has to play with Brother Jin for a while every day, and he doesn't feel lonely.
When Eleven Niang freshened up and went to the west room, Xu Sijie was playing the flute for Brother Jin'er.
Although she doesn't know much about folk music, she can hear it from Xu Sijie's graceful and smooth and mellow flute sound, and Xu Sijie's attainments in the flute have far surpassed Xu Sijie, who is three years older than him and is learning the flute at the same time.
Xu Sijie was very engaged, and Brother Jin also changed his usual liveliness, looking at his brother with big smooth eyes.
Eleven Niang stood at the entrance of the 'door', listened to Xu Sijie blow a song, and clapped her palms.
"The more I play my brother's flute, the better"
"Mother" Xu Sijie ran over and hugged Eleven Niang's waist, the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were full of smiles, and she said a little embarrassed, "Mr. said that you need to practice more."
Eleven Niang 'touched' his head and hugged Brother Jin'er, who was jumping in Gu's mother's arms: "Go and do your homework." Then we eat. Go and say hello to my grandmother."
Xu Sijie respectfully responded "yes", sat on the kang table and memorized "Kindergarten Learning".
At the opening of the museum this year, Mr. Zhao officially gave Xu Si an admonition to 'Meng'.
Brother Jin was naturally a little impatient when he heard this, and grabbed Eleven Niang's earrings with a sigh.
Eleven Niang smiled and slapped her son's buttocks, and when Ah Jin pulled out Brother Jin'er's little hand, Eleven Niang 'handed over' Brother Jin'er to Gu's mother: "The fifth young master wants to endorse, don't let the sixth young master quarrel with him." ”
Gu's mother smiled and responded "yes", and went to the warm pavilion with her brother in her arms.
After checking Xu Sijie's homework, Eleven Niang instructed the little maid to set up dinner. After greeting Mrs. Tai, he accompanied Xu Sijie to paint red on the kang table in the west room.
When Xu Lingyi came back, it was already late, and the courtyard was quiet, and it had been replaced by a maid and mother-in-law on duty at night.
The brightly lit west window reflects the beautiful silhouette of Eleven Niang doing needlework and the small figure of Xu Sijie practicing calligraphy.
Xu Lingyi stopped the little maid's communication, stood there and watched them quietly for a while, and then walked into the house with light steps.
"Hou Ye is back," Eleven Niang got off the kang.
Xu Sijie turned his head and shouted "Dad", put down the pen, and stepped forward to salute Xu Lingyi.
Xu Lingyi smiled and nodded, but her eyes fell on a big red brocade quilt next to the kang table - Brother Jin'er's little face was flushed and he was sleeping soundly.
"Have you done your homework" He asked Xu Sijie with a smile, sat down next to Brother Jin'er, and helped Brother Jin tuck the quilt.
"There is one more word," Xu Sijie said with a blushing face.
He was afraid that his father would blame him.
Xu Lingyi smiled gently and said, "Then finish writing quickly, and go to sleep after writing."
Xu Sijie became happy, said "um", and happily climbed onto the kang.
Eleven Niang came in with tea.
Xu Lingyi took a sip, the corner of his eye swept over the small rattan basket placed aside, and said with a smile: "What are you doing?" ”
Eleven Niang sat down next to Xu Sijie and packed up the small rattan basket: "I want to make double summer socks for Master Hou." ”
Xu Lingyi was a little surprised.
This is the first time that Eleven Niang has made something for her, not to mention that she still has a screen of "Gu Feng" that has not been embroidered...... Then I was interested: "Show me"
Eleven Niang smiled and handed over the socks.
The turmeric 'color' of the fine arrowroot cloth, the socks are embroidered with a black 'color' moire. Solemn and generous.
Xu Lingyi liked it very much, and took it in her hand and polished it carefully for a while before handing over the socks.
Eleven Niang asked Luo Zhenxing: "Big brother is gone?" ”
"No," Xu Lingyi said, "I drank a little too much, so I stayed overnight." He added, "Zhenxing has accepted a concubine, you prepare some hairpin rings, and make a meeting gift for the new aunt tomorrow." ”
Eleven Niang was taken aback: "How can this be?" He felt that his words were too urgent, so he breathed a sigh of relief, "When is it?" Why didn't the eldest brother mention a word in his letter a few days ago? ”
"Just these few days." Xu Lingyi said with a smile, "How can he mention this kind of thing." ”
Eleven Niang didn't make a sound.
The eldest wife passed away, and in the future, Luo Da * 'milk' will be a family. To serve Lord Luo at home, preside over the feed, manage the general affairs, and raise the children and daughters, it is impossible to follow Luo Zhenxing to Yanjing, and it is impossible for Luo Zhenxing to have no one to take care of him......
The initial surprise passed, and although she was able to understand this arrangement, she was a little unhappy in her heart.
There was silence in the room.
Xu Lingyi looked at Eleven Niang, who looked quiet just now but her eyes were dark at the moment, thought about it, and said, "Don't worry. The person is your sister-in-law's master, and it is a distant relative of your sister-in-law's mother's family. ”
